FAQs
Make-Ahead and Storage:
How far ahead can I make these cupcakes?
Cupcakes can be made several days in advance of your party.
Storage: Store frosted cupcakes in a sealed container at room temperature
How do I Eat cupcakes in a tall Cupcake Wrapper?
Tall paper cupcake wrappers are not really meant to be peeled back like a classic cupcake wrapper is. I would eat these cupcakes with a spoon or a fork.

How do I Keep My Cupcakes Moist?
Bubbles. When stirring the batter, do not over-stir. Those bubbles contain air pockets that expand during baking. If you over-mix the batter, your bubbles will disappear and your cupcakes will be too dense.
Tips and Tricks:
- use room temperature ingredients. When you use room temperature ingredients, they mix easily with the rest of the ingredients
- fill cupcake wrappers 2/3 of the way
- place wrappers on a baking sheet for baking in the oven

- sugar crystals sprinkle – I used red and blue sprinkles, but snow cones come in a variety of flavors and colors, so get whatever colors fit your theme, mood, or party
Other equipment you’ll need:
- wooden ice cream spoons – I bought mine from Amazon. The link is above
